Mentoring in a group is an opportunity to experience the therapeutic wilderness program from a different perspective. It can be a powerful experience for both you as well as the group that you plan to support. Returning Student Mentors provide current Blue Ridge students healthy student-mentor relationships, encouragement, and wisdom. Alumni mentors model consistent effort, adaptive emotional regulation, and thoughtful problem solving with a positive mindset, showing our current students what they may also be capable of.
